I Prefer Not To Talk On The Phone

Prefer is an understatement to be honest. I really dislike it. I would like to say it stems from being on a helpdesk and being on the phone so much when I was younger but it started before that. I get anxiety when I am on the phone for some reason. It makes me nervous and antsy. I would text all day and night, send emails, do anything I could before I talk on the phone. What makes it worse is my dad is a phone talker and his calls are an hour to an hour and a half each time. After I get off the phone with him I am exhausted. It is terrible.

The only thing I have found that helps a little is using speakerphone and not having the phone against my ear. It doesn't help a whole lot but it does a little.

I had to find positions that do not require much phone interactions at work
